It is something that we all like to indulge in but we happen
to talk ill about it…especially when we see somebody else humoring into it.
Hypocrites that we are…I was reading the newspaper the other day and happened
to read that Sunny Leone was not allowed to promote her latest flick in one of
the states. I was literally shocked. How can they do that to her? She was
called bad names… Sunny, we all know her and I can bet there is hardly any
person who…huh! Bloody double standards. Grow up guys! Admit it…No, this is not
a women-are-not-respected-in- India issue. It is completely different, it is
Indians-love-being-assholes issue. I must say that the Indians are far too
foolhardy. I am not here to promote Sunny’s ex profession not by any means;
neither do I have any such intentions. But yes I do have acknowledged Sunny’s
intentions to start afresh. We are a country where the politicians can do all
the dog stuff sitting in the parliament and the same politicians get the right
to accuse Sunny. Wow! A round of applause for such moronness! I firmly believe
that the society we live in is a reflection of ourselves…So if there is a whole
industry that runs on this particular business it is because we demand for it.
We are the ones who make this ****industry work and then we are the one who
tries to inflate our bloody egos by talking against it…Funny it is! It is as if
an infant playing with his favorite toy, it plays with it, throws it and then
gets back to it. We are so confused, we like sunny when we are alone and we
hate her when we are with someone…Damn! No words for this bloody attitude! Entangled
in our own uproar of activities we completely forget that it is our fellow
creature that we are accusing for something we should be accused for…Everybody
has a dark side but the real human being is who overpowers the darkness by the
light that he has within.

A tribute to Sunny Leone

Even Frogs Marry!
Once there was a frog, his parents were looking for a suitable match for him. In the process they posted an ad for him on the matrimonial site.
The ad went like this:
Groom Profile:
Our son is a rare species and is an excellent hunter and doesn't let go any prey from his clutch, the female would never have to hunt for prey.
We have our own family pond surrounded by beautiful plants and two our very own
trees, which we have rented to crows. The rent is enough for all us to survive.
The prospect is our eldest son and works in a Multinational museum where he gets
free stay and free food. The groom will take the bride with him to the museum.
The groom is well qualified; he has done Bachelors in Frogology from the
Institute of Frogology , Germany. He is very athletic.
Bride’s Profile:
The girl should be beautiful .She should be ready to settle abroad
as our son plans to apply for a job in New York City. She should be well versed
with the frog ways. She should have a strong family background. We will prefer
a bride who can change colors as per her surroundings, a perfect mix of modernity
and ethnicity.
So this was the matrimonial ad that the parents gave for the
groom, and as expected they got a lot of reverts, and finally they shortlisted
one. All were pretty excited. The meeting was set to happen. The frog was all
set to meet his future bride. The venue was finalized for the meeting; it was
an exquisite pond in the city’s biggest mall. Both the families gathered at the
venue, the boy was dressed plainly in a hat and the girl too was simply
dressed. They both jumped aside after taking the permission of their elders.
They chatted for half an hour, the topic that struck was their food preferences.
The frog was amazed when he found that their likes and dislikes are same. The families
also liked each other and they fixed their marriage. The marriage was fixed to
happen in the monsoon.
The day finally came. The arrangements were all made. The venue
was the musical fountain in the temple-cum-museum. It was a perfect venue which
the bride and groom had themselves finalized for their wedding. The bride’s
parents were hesitant first as the cost involved was high but they agreed as
she was the only daughter among ten sons.
They were around 100 guests gathered around the fountain to
watch the couple. The guest was served with the crickets, which they enjoyed a
lot. Every frog was talking about the beautiful arrangements. The ceremonies
were performed and they were declared husband and wife. They both jumped
together to take the blessings of their elders.
And then they both lived happily ever after.

Live a little Differently!
The ways of world are strange; we all talk about peace and love. I am sure everybody wants them badly in their lives. I am 26 and up till now I have not met a single person who said that he is content enough or loved enough. It’s said that man is the only being who can achieve anything he wishes for…true it is looking at the progress the world has made. Then does that mean that man never wanted love and peace in the first place. Or it can be that they wish for the two but are more interested in the opposite. Don’t know really! I have heard a lot of people say –“My life is very complex”, I then tell them “Make it simple then”, and in return I get an answer, “You won’t understand.”(huh) I wish I can tell them that I don’t want to understand, it’s you who have to understand.
The problem is that we have forgotten to be grateful. Yes
you heard it right, ‘Be Grateful’. Rather, I will go to an extent of saying that,
‘Being grateful to everything around is the key to inner joy.’ And once you are
happy inside you automatically feel loved and experience peace. Once just once
be appreciative to everything that you encounter, to the sunrise, the sunset,
the color of your room, your neighbors (even if they are always ready for a
fight), the birds, the blue sky complementing the green leaves…From people to
things, from things to situations or incidents everything, look at them with
the feeling of gratefulness. Your world is sure to change then. Once you start
being appreciative of things you will notice the beauty that was up till now
unnoticed, you will be amazed at what you were missing… As I mentioned before
you will feel loved, and you know feeling loved is the best feeling one can
experience.
Ok let me ask you
something, how do you feel when nobody appreciates your efforts? Very bad right!
I feel heartbroken! Remember that everything that you notice and leave
unnoticed from the sunrise to the shinning moon is all set for you. Everything that
happens in your life is happening for you. They are all there for your entertainment.
Be thankful to them! By being appreciative
of things, peace will automatically reside in your heart. Gratitude takes you a
long way! Let's live a little differently from now!
I am very grateful to you for reading it! Thanks!

Why do I fall!
A leaf falling from the tree was filled with sorrow,
Escorted
by the wind she was about to meet her deadly fate.
She had anger brimming her soul as she was
about to touch her reality.
She looked at the tree with all the hope
that he might save her from her dreadful fate.
The tree bent down with the longing to hold
her but to no avail, her fate was decided.
Both of them were hoping against hope.
Their love for each other was apparent to
everybody present over there.
It was witnessed by the earth, the bushes that
lay there, every insect that dwell on the bark, the wind and the neighboring
trees. Everybody felt the sadness in the air.
The hopeless leaf requested the wind to let
her embrace the tree for the last time.
The wind very gently obeyed her and granted
her wish.
And both of them got a chance to embrace
each other.
Even the wind stood still for a moment, to
absorb the beauty.
As she hugged the tree she was filled with
fear, fear to loose him forever, fear of losing her identity forever. This fear made her cling to him even tighter.
The wind then held her from the arm and
took her with it.

Come and read to me
All my life I have waited for you
I know you are the one who' ll love me for true.
Ages have past as I stand here
And now I lay in front of you my thoughts bare.
You have to open the locks with the key
Come and read to me
I will shower all my love
As God has sent you for me from above.
You will always hold a sacred place in my heart
And I will always b honest to you on my part.
Together we will make a beautiful family tree
Come and read to me.
My soul will get all the pleasure
The happiness would be beyond the measure, when you would read to me.
You are my he and I m your she
Come and read to me.

A subject less talked about...
Let me introduce the subject to you, it is…
But wait the fear of getting exposed is not letting me
come up with the subject. The feeling that I am experiencing right now is of
the same kind when I happened to propose someone. Before I touch base on the
subject let me narrate this incident to you. Don’t worry I will not go into the
details… so the incident goes like this, I happen to call this guy whom I
thought to be just perfect for me (that’s the reason you propose I guess), and
vomited out all my feelings to him and felt that have committed an act of
bravery…I was all happy to be relieved of the burden, only to find out that it
was one sided! Heartbreak it was. The minute I came to know that it was all one
sided all the feelings for him just got evaporated in the air (guess it was not
true love or my ego…I still can’t decide). It was a relief that I was out of
it…but the crime was committed, I was exposed in front of a person who was not
even worth. Don’t misunderstand me I don’t have any regrets, I still find myself
to be brave enough to have done it. It is of course was a brave act for a girl
like me as until then I detested girls who proposed! After my act I find them
courageous enough. It was a mixed feeling that I experienced, I felt
independent (of him and of the burden) but with that I foster a kind of hatred
for myself for having getting exposed. I think these incidents only happen to
make you more mature. Same feeling capture my mind when I am about to introduce
the subject…
On second thoughts maybe some other time!

An Era of Checklists
Whenever we meet a boy who is good enough to catch our
attention, at that very moment we start with our analysis. We start comparing
our checklist with him. One point missing and he is a straight reject! And if
the guy is lucky enough to overcome the barrier, there comes the checklist of
the girl’s friends…and he is a reject again! Same goes with the boys, a girl
goes into the eject mode if she is missing on any point…Of course there are
some rules to the game. Let us check out the checklist of both the genders. (The
points on the checklist are strictly to be taken in the counting order…)
A Girl’s checklist
1. He should be rich.
2. He should be
handsome.
3. He should be
intelligent.
4. He should be very
loving and caring.
5. He should know how
to cook.
6. And blah blah blah…
The list can go on and on…but if it matches the above criteria he
is good enough to be a date…One important thing that I forget to put is, all
the points on the checklist can be overlooked if he is very rich ;) (Don’t tell
anyone!)
A boy’s Checklist:
1. She should be very
beautiful and to an extent that all my friends should get jealous of me.
2. She should be fun
to be with…
3. She should mind her
own business, and don’t be too much of a poking.
4. She should be smart.
5. She should be earning.
6. She should not be
demanding and blah blah blah…
And the list is never ending…but if the girl matches these requirements
she is good enough to start off with…And in this case too all the points can be
overlooked if the girl is extremely beautiful… :)
Lame that is! do you know who is taking advantage of our checklists,
the so called dating/matrimonial websites…!
The fact of the matter is not the checklist but our never ending
want to get the perfect kind…when the word perfect in itself is a big farce.
And you know what we are so obsessed with that checklist that we tend to ignore
the person whom we are meant to be with…
Do away with your checklists today and then look around that
person is just around the corner…
Happy Valentine’s Week
